Mark Wahlberg Talks About the Genesis and Significance of 'Entourage' (VIDEO)
No matter how close they got the cameras to his face, Mark Wahlberg said, "I don't want to get all emotional and teary-eyed here. And he didn't. But he did open up in a lot of ways on 'Hollywood Sunset: A Farewell Tribute to Entourage.'The executive producer shared the evolution of how a short movie documentary about "my friends who at a later stage in life decided they wanted to be rappers" turned into 'Entourage.' We could have had yet another Hollywood reality show following Wahlberg and his buddies around, but thankfully he nixed that idea.
"I would not incriminate myself," he said, and so it evolved into a fictional variation that became a signature series for HBO and a perennial favorite at awards shows.
"For me, it's the show that kind of defined what shows about the business in Hollywood are all about," he said. "I don't think there'll be another show like it for quite some time."
